# Everton Predicted XI: Leeds United (A)

[Everton](https://readeverton.com/2021/02/02/everton-fans-mixed-opinions-josh-king-signing/) will be hoping for a more comfortable showing against Leeds United at Elland Road tonight, having [succumbed to the Whites](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55025785) in the reverse fixture at Goodison Park in late November.

Moreover, the Toffees will still be feeling the pain after [losing 2-0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97QGe2VDh-g) at the hands of Steve Bruce’s Newcastle side who had endured an [11-game winless streak](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/newcastle-united/spielplandatum/verein/762) prior to Saturday.

Last time out, [a late Raphinha strike](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55025785) was enough to dampen the spirits of Carlo Ancelotti’s side as Everton failed to puncture the Leeds defence. However, with a wealth of attacking options bolstered by the [addition of Joshua King](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55897493), the Toffees should offer more of a threat in the final third than they did in their previous encounter.

With Leeds having claimed a commendable triumph against Leicester on Sunday, Ancelotti’s side will know they need to work hard to nullify the Whites’ considerable threat. The likes of Patrick Bamford and Jack Harrison [routed the Foxes](https://www.skysports.com/football/leicester-vs-leeds/429042), and the Toffees will need to work hard to avoid becoming unstuck themselves.

With such a quick turnaround in games after the disappointing home defeat to Newcastle, Ancelotti is likely to rotate several key players both for tactical and rest-based reasons.
